Famous quotes containing the words world and/or war:

    You become a reader because you saw and heard someone you admired enjoying the experience, someone led you to the world of books even before you could read, let you taste the magic of stories, took you to the library, and allowed you to stay up later at night to read in bed.
    Jim Trelease (20th century)

    Only in war are you holy, and when you are robbers and cruel.
